Rhodes island it's is not by chance the flagship of Greek tourism. 

One of the most well-preserved medieval towns – a UNESCO monument – dozens of spectacular beaches, 

important archaeological sites, interesting inland and, of course, well-developed hotel infrastructure 

and vibrant life make Rhodes an ideal island for a different getaway. 

 

Lovers of luxury resorts and family vacations alike enjoy it, as well as those who want to combine relaxation

 on the beaches either with monuments of different historical periods (from antiquity to the Italian occupation) or with intense nightlife and secularism.

 

The medieval city will monopolize your sightseeing as well as atmospheric restaurants and bars, while the most beautiful part of the new city is the beachfront casino with the historic “Hotel of the Rhodes” and other Italian buildings (National Theater, Administration Office, Post Office etc.) and the multi-photographed beach. 

It is worth at least a day to spend it in the island’s second-class town, Lindos, with its acropolis and unique captains’ houses. 

The most popular bases for accommodation are the nearby seaside resorts (Ixia, Ialyssos, Kallithea, Faliraki), 

while in the south there are even less crowded beaches and “hidden” villages. It is an ideal island for those who love car tours and sightseeing: 

from the Valley of the Butterflies and the Baths of Kallithea to Filerimos Hill and Ancient Kamiro, the rides are many and varied. 

Your attention, of course, deserves the most unknown in many inland with the many natural beauties and monuments of Italian rule. 

Also of interest are the villages of Kolimbia (25 km from the city) and Archangelos (28 km from the city): 

the first for its green and pebbly beach and the second for the residents’ faith in their traditions and linguistic idiom. 

(strongly reminiscent of Cyprus). Rhodes can finally be combined with one-day excursions to nearby satellite islands, such as Halki and Symi.
